    The five-point star shape in reality is to imprint a satanic symbol, the pentagram, into the collective inconscious, by the secret elite, in order to shape humanity's mindset and corrupt its values.

    Already knew most of this info, but love the way they simplified the jargon, and just gave the facts. I love to color my stars with rainbows inside them that is due to heat.

    Very interesting, Thanks! but I'm still going to draw my stars pretty much the same and without rainbows.
